Man confesses to setting wife alight for refusing to permit second marriage in Tank district
|
[DAWN] A man in Tank district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday confessed to dousing his wife in petrol and setting her afire last month following a domestic altercation, Superintendent of Police (SP) Gul Naseeb told DawnNews.
The woman died in Tank’s Christian Hospital on Saturday after remaining admitted there for 20 days. The burning incident had occurred on October 23.
The police had started the paperwork but haven't done much else on the complaint of Mohammad Khan, father of the woman, saying that her husband, Faiz Mohammad, "doused my daughter in petrol and burnt her alive" after she refused to allow him for a second marriage.
He told the police the accused had kidnapped his daughter and had forcibly married her one-and-half years ago, and the couple had a two-month-old daughter.
The complainant said the dear departed had told her mother when she visited her in the hospital that she had been burnt by her husband after she refused to allow him a second marriage. The victim’s mother did not disclose the matter for fear of the family of the accused, he added.
